Hotel was OK. Good facilities and pool area (the smaller pool anyway - didn't go to the larger hotel pool as it was quite a walk from our room!). Staff were great although we did have a slight issue with the cleaning staff. After having already showered, I was annoyed to discover that the bath towels had been replaced with hand towels! We made reception aware of it the next morning and they were very apologetic although another couple also came up behind us and said 'we came here to complain about the same thing'. Odd.
Room itself was OK. We had a studio with a third bed which we didn't use. Rooms were big with a handy kitchen area if you did want to use it.
Breakfast was OK (notice a theme?!) also. Nothing special but edible. Your usual plates of cold meats and cheeses, fruits and then the trays of hot scrambled egg, baked beans and hash browns. They also have a station for eggs so you can ask for them fried or an omelette. The omelettes were very nice but if you get down to breakfast at a busy time then expect to wait for around 15-20 mins for an omelette (I gave up in the end!).
Good location - 5 mins to beach but the walk to the town is a bit more strenuous! Takes about 10 minutes to get to the top of the 'strip' (with quite a few stairs!) and then around 5-10 mins to walk to the end of it. Also about a 10 min taxi ride to Alvor which is well worth doing (lovely narrow streets and delicious restaurants)

Very nice hotel with very friendly staff right in the middle of everything u need. Can get a bit of noise late at nights due to vacinity but all in all a worth while holiday choice of hotel and location..

The studio apartment was spotlessly clean and much bigger than we were expecting. It was also very well equipped, and even had a proper oven and a dishwasher (although we didn't use either!).The free breakfast was amazing - lots of lovely fruit and a great selection of breads and rolls, plus the usual cold meat/cheese and cooked breakfast. It's a bit of a walk from the town and the beach, but lovely and quiet because of this.

We had a great holiday here! I was worried after reviews I'd read, particularly one review which said that the hotel wasn't close to anything, however I found the location fine, there was a decent shop about 2-3mins from the complex and the walk was about 10-15 mins from the strip. This meant that you could enjoy the liveliness of the resort but that the hotel itself was relaxed and chilled. The poolside bar was reasonably priced. More sun lounges would be a benefit!!! On our last day we noticed 4-5 loungers In the rarely used spa area, which was a pity because they would've been of use by the pool (on most days there were 10-15 people lying of the grass as not enough loungers!) i was keen on having a pedicure but the only treatments available at the spa were massages! Also the maids weren't v good, our room was cleaned in less than 5 mins, toilet roll wasn't replaced so we just ended up buying it ourselves and our bins weren't emptied, so ended up doing that ourselves too- not exactly what you expect from a serviced apartment! However the facilities within the apartment were good and the apartments were lovely and spacious! Pool was lovely, service good have been better!

Less than 100 metres from the hotel door to the beach. The beach itself was spotless and the sea was warm and very clean. The hotel had an excellent outdoor pool surrounded by well kept gardens with mature trees providing much needed shade if required.
The hotel is just 5 minutes by taxi to the centre of Alvor 15 minutes by foot. Alvor itself is a beautiful unspoilt fishing village with many superb fish restaurants in particular to chose from.
It is always nice to leave somewhere satisfied with a feeling that you will return sooner rather than later. We have been to Portugal six times, Alvor has been our best and most enjoyable thus far.

We came at night and it was hard to find and a bit overgrown. The layout is a bit confusing but once there, we found the rooms to be nice, bed comfortable (but roll away not so good), good breakfast, and the staff was very nice. Yes, we would definitely return.

Friendly clean hotel, fabulous views from the 15th floor room we had, lovely sea water pool, good choice of buffet food, and drinks. Short walk through the gardens to the 4kms of white sandy beach. Very helpful staff, without exception, handy location for the pretty fishing town of Alvor, and its stunning estuary.We will be revisiting !!!
